I ended up blogging here and at Access Romance today. The double blogging thing seemed like the perfect excuse to put out some short (copyrighted but unedited) excerpts of my upcoming Brava release Right Here, Right Now (March ‘08). The excerpt starts here and continues at Access Romance.
Check out both, comment on both blogs and you’ll be entered to win your choice of two of my previous releases.
Good Luck!

Right Here, Right Now (continued at Access Romance)
“This isn’t working.”
There they were. To Gabrielle Pearson the phrase stood second only to “it’s not you, it’s me” as the most lame male excuse on the planet for cutting out of a date before the dessert menus hit the table.
Gabby glanced around the upscale restaurant looking for reinforcements. If anyone heard Reed Larkin’s big kiss off over the rumble of conversation and clanking of silverware, they were not letting on. No one held up a roll ready to lob it at Reed’s fat head.
A shame, really, since his over-inflated ego made it the perfect target.
“Gabby? Did you hear me?” Reed asked with his suddenly not-so-kissable mouth turned down in concern.
“I’m not deaf. I was thinking.” Thinking that a woman never had a vial of strychnine when she needed one.
He frowned. “I was-”
“It’s interesting, don’t you agree?”
He switched to squinting. “You lost me.
“Obviously.”
She lowered her fork to the white tablecloth, but not before toying with the idea of stabbing Reed smack in the center of his perfectly angled chin. One hit of the sharp prongs and no woman would ever be lured in by his inviting sexy smile again.
“I’m talking about your timing, Reed. You waited until you were done with your meal to make this announcement. You skipped the appetizer course and choked back your undercooked steak without taking a breath.”
Now she knew why.

Oooh, can’t wait! I really liked “Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy” and this excerpt is whetting my appetite for more. Off to AccessRomance…
March is so long off. It sounds great.
Can’t wait to read the book, because it sounds really good
Sounds great!
Interesting….can’t wait to read more!!
Oh, this sounds very intriguing!
Do we really have to wait until March?
Very nice..and no less than I have come to expect from you HelenKay!
I enjoyed both Viva Las Bad Boys! and When Good things Happen to Bad Boys.
I am looking forward to this one as well….
Sounds great.
Keep those books acomin’ is all I can say. LOL.
It’s a great excerpt.
I visited all your blogs. Would love to win a book to read while I’m laid up for 8 months - along with all the others I have. They are my enjoyment and relaxation. Without the escape, I’d have no hair left - really.
Sounds like a very alluring read. March seems so far away.
March is tooo far away!
Can’t wait for March this would make a great birthday present for myself!
Sounds great! Enjoyed this excerpt!
Nice!
“He switched to squinting. “You lost me.”
That was too funny!
Hi Helen,
I finished the excerpt at Access Romance and left a comment. The excerpt has piqued my curiousity! I want to read more of this fabulous book! How do you come up with such exciting, unique story lines all the time? You are amazing!
Great excerpt.
I just commented on AccessRomance and I am here now
It is my first visit on this blog and I had never heard about the Brava imprint
Thanks for the little teaser, Helen! Can’t wait for the whole story!
Enjoyed the excerpt, though I do want to smack him. Great cover too.
Another reason to be looking forward to Spring!
I can’t wait to read this.
Thanks guys!!! I’m excited for RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW to come out. The hero (Reed) dumps the heroine (Gabby) in the first chapter. And, that’s only one of the many stupid things he does in the book… I could not help but love him.
I need to read the rest now!! This one is going to be great!
I really enjoyed the double excerpts - great idea.
Will be watching for this one to come out. Sounds great!
What a different approach to a story; would be interesting to know what goes on from there after being dumped in the first chapter.
I enjoyed the excerpt and can’t wait until March to get my hands on the whole story! Thanks for sharing.
great tease yes blogged at access r
Definitely looking forward to your next title HK. Thanks!
Always enjoy your books!! “It” wasn’t working/no sex. Like the tie between the two excerpts! Keep the books coming!!
Thats a fantastic cover & I really enjoyed both excerpts.
Great excerpt! Now I’m off to Access Romance to read the rest. Can’t wait until March to read your book - why can’t it be sooner?!
I love the excerpt! Sounds like a really good book!
